CHAMPAIGN -- The people being helped by these Kids to Know are not complaining. The Interact Club at Centennial High School is at it again.

This time, the volunteer students are making sure lawns are getting cleared before winter settles in. 50 students are part of the club.

They pick a new project every month to tackle, all in the name of service. One member says the best part is seeing the joy and happiness on the faces of those they help.

Last month, the club put on a haunted house. They've also raised money for the local United Way and collected shoes to send overseas.
